About this event
Are you an early-stage founder in Portugal and ready to raise your first serious round of funding. Then take a look at how the SEIS ecosystem in the UK can help you do this faster and easier.
​This workshop will show you exactly how to secure £250,000 using the Seed Enterprise Investment Scheme (SEIS) — the most founder-friendly tax regime in Europe.
​Whether you’re thinking about working with angel investors or going through an SEIS fund, you’ll leave with the practical tools, insider knowledge, and confidence to get funded as a non UK startup.
​What you’ll learn
​✨ SEIS Demystified – How the scheme works, what investors get, and why it’s your biggest advantage as a first-time founder.
✨ The Investor Journey – How to approach angels vs SEIS funds, and what they really look for at this stage.
✨ Your First £250K – Step-by-step process to structure, pitch, and close your round.
✨ Pitch-Perfect Storytelling – How to position your startup so investors lean in, not lean back.
✨ Founder Q&A – Get real answers to your specific challenges.
​Why attend?
• ​SEIS funding is the fastest way to validate your business and get the capital you need to build traction.
• ​Missing key details could mean lost investment opportunities or leaving money on the table.
• ​You’ll gain clarity, confidence, and a network of peers on the same fundraising journey.
​Who is this for?
​🚀 First-time founders building their MVP.
​💡 Founders preparing to raise pre-seed or seed capital in the next 6–12 months.
​🌍 Ambitious entrepreneurs in London, Lisbon, Boston, Bangalore, Singapore (and beyond) looking to tap into the UK’s investor ecosystem.
